Mickey dit « au revoir » aux visiteurs depuis son balcon de la gare de Main Street USA après Disney Illuminations.Mickey said « Goodbye » to visitors from the balcony of the Main Street Station after « Disney Illuminations ».

On 31 March, the annual general meeting, probably the last of its history took place at the Disney New York hotel. The general atmosphere was a mix between nostalgia, waiting with resignation. Indeed, with the demand of Disney to redeem€2 the action (April 12, 1992 it was worth € 22 before consolidation of one new action for 100 old) which is far to satisfy the shareholders of Disneyland Paris who have most invested and especially contributed more 4 times at the recapitalisations of the company.

Thus, while the 25th anniversary promises good returns, we can see that resortwith hotels and parks have been completely redone, that the value of the company has decreased more than 500 million euros and the price down of the action allows therefore to the Walt Disney Company to buy the company at a price defying any competition. Indeed, through the royaties and the investments made, be it during recapitalizations or the construction of the tourist destination, Disneyland Paris has never weighed on the American Company except by its financial advances or the degraded image of the french company. For example, Disneyland Paris with its two theme parks, are Entertainment Center Disney Village and its 7 hotels, cost only for the Walt Disney Company more than 240 million euros. This is nothing for the second more bigger Disney Resort in the world !

With this in mind, you will understand that shareholders have the feeling of being disillusioned. You can see Spencer Neumann (Chief Financial officer & Executive Vice President Global Guest Experience of the Walt Disney Company) explain the point of view of the American Company which buys Disneyland Paris
